THE secretary of the navy, in his re-
port just published, says: The Brit
ish government and Canada together
are proposing for the establishment OF
a line of frst-class steamers from Van.
couver to Japan. The subsidy is
likely to be 100000 annually-e45,-
600 from England and e15,000 from
Canada. There will also be contrib
uted from the naval reserve fund
probably SIS per ton for each ship con
structed for the route, which will in
crease the sum by S125,600. Under
such competition it is quite easy Il
conjecture what will become of the
American flag and our resources il
the way of a naval reserve in The
North Pacific.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.

An important case involving the
treaty relations of the United States
with Hawaii and San Domingo was
argued last Wednesday In the United
States suprc- court. The case
stands on the docket as Hugh Kelly,
plaintiff in error, against Edward l..
Hedden. collector. The question pre-
sented is the alleged exemption from
duty under the existing tariff of pro-
ducts of the Sandwich Islands, ad-
mitted free from duty under the re-
ciprocity treaty and the special act of
congress, approved August 15, 1876.
About twenty years ago the United
States entered into a treaty with the
dominion republic, by which each
country agreed not to charge higher
import duties on the products of the
other than were imposed upon like
products from any other country.
The importer claims the exemption
from duty of certain sugars and other
products imported by him from San
Domingo, upon the ground that the
articles were of such character that
had they been imported from Hawaii
They would have been admitted free
of duty under the treaty between the
United States and Hawaii, and the
act of August Is, 1876, enforcing that
treaty.
The United States government main,
tains that the treaty with the Hawaii,
an Islands was not a mere reciprocity
treaty, but was in substance com
mercial contract, by virtue of which
Hawaii pays a valuable consideration
for the admission of certain merchan-
disc to the ports of the United States
Counsel for the importer say that II
the United States should be defeated
in this case San Domingo might be-
come the Honolulu of the Atlantic
coast, while if the United States
should succeed, Denmark, Brazil,
Central America, Peru, Persia and
other foreign governments would be
at liberty to shut out other manu-
facturers and products from their
ports, without giving us any cause for
complaint, for violation of existing
treaties, pledging the United States
an equality there with all other ma
tions This, they say, would upset
nearly all our existing commercial
treaties with foreign powers.

In the course of remarks by Charles
Crocker on the occasion of driving the
last spike in the California & Oregon
railroad last Saturday, he said:
"There was one thing L forgot to say
when 1 held that spike up-that it
was about to unite the cities of Port
land and New Orleans by one contin-
uous line of railroad controlled by one
organization-and I believe it is the
longest line of railroad controlled by
one organization in the world. 1t is
1886 miles long-one continuous line
with branches 5000 miles in length.
feel proud that 1 can say that have
been associated with the building of
this line from its commencement, and
am getting pretty tired of it; but 1
don't know but L will take contract to
build that road that Mr.. Hoar has got
started toward Alaska"

CONSIDERABLE stir has been caused
in Chicago by the fact leaking out
that the Kelley Brewing company has
instructed its brokers to buy no barley
grown in or shipped from the states of
Iowa and Kansas. The secretary of
the company says: "If they won't
buy our beer, it is quite proper we
should refuse to buy their barley"
Louis Huck, the millionaire malster,
said if there was a general movement
he would join it heartily. He de-
clares that the farmers of Iowa were
hypocrites, pretending to believe in
prohibition and raising barley for the
manufacture of whisky and beer.

Every nation has its cats, and, as a natural sequence, its rats and mice. Nature made the cat as a sort of experi- ment, and then had to manufacture rats and mice to give her something to do. How she does it may be inferred from the statement that the annual damage inflicted on the world by rats and mice is over $1OO,00O,0O0. Millions of dollars are also expended for traps and poisons, while the cat dimes on fried oysters and sleeps the hours away. No family should shelter cat under the idea that she will keep the mice down. They will be sure to follow her to the house to secure safety. Boys who kill cats should put them out of pain as soon as possible. An average of ten dead cats to one live boy should be the record to strive for.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

us V. l,
 The most novel event which will hap pen in Washington this year will be the national drill during the last week in May The managers of the affair predict that it will unquestionably be the greatest spec tacle in the way of massing superb, civic military companies, the world has ever seen. Military displays are always popu- lar. Whether paraded in peace or exhib- itei in conflict, the gay uniforms, the burnished arms, the martial music, the shrill piping of the flies, the rattling drums, the t'heroic voices of the bugles, y the flying banners, the prancing steeds, and the ghostly city of tents, all appeal to the senses and spirit of the people.
 State and other local drills have been held at different places, some of them meeting with signal success, but no na- tional drill has ever before been attempt ed, and one could not be carried out else where than atthe capital. --
 The affairs of the comIng drill have been excellently managed. Several weeks ago the committee had in hand over $25, 5,000 to expend on the display, and more re- gently subscriptions of from $500 to $1 ,0OO each have been declined because all money necessary had already been subscribed and paid in.
 The camping ground will be that lying around the Washington monument. The drill ground will be the beautiful, level ellipse, half mile in circumference, lying south of the white house, and which is called the white lot. Here, daily, will be heli the contests to prove the excellence of tue citizen soldiery, infantry, artillery, cavalry, and Zouave tactics. .
 There will be eontending companies, if pOf rival ra0iunufa from many marta Of the country. The east and west, north and south will be here with their bands and drum-corps. The lake and gulf sec- tions will be represented, and inde ed the whole country, from Sandy Hook to the Golden Gate, from CastiDe to San Diego, from Seattle to Key West, will be here to drill for the prizes. Besides the distribu- tion of $26, 800 in cash prizes, there will be stapds of cOlors, medals in gold, silver and bronze, special medals and plate trophies. .s. ,e 5- <l -
 The drill, which will begin on the 23d of May, will last nine days, and close on decoration day., Each evening there will be grand brigade dress parade, and on governors day the entire army corps from Camp George Washington will pa- rade the broad avenues of the city. Each evening during the drill the grounds will be illuminated for promenade concerts and for other attractions which are now being ,prepared q for the public.
 ..,- Not only will all sections of the country send their volunteer soldiery to compete for the prizes, but the latter will bring along their sisters and their cousins and thcir auntsa to witness their brilliant achievements. The number of military to be here is estimated at twenty thousand,

Mrs. Hamlin, was born in Lincoln

Her funeral took place from her
home in Russellville, whittier she was
brought and buried by the loving
hands or vast concourse of sympa-
thizing friends.
Mrs. Hamlin professed faith in the
Christians Savior when she was only
fifteen years of age; TO which she chung

which was her strong stay in her heavy

maintaining herself and daughter
which she has done with credit.
She will be missed, not alone by her
